Meet the New KernelCI

By Blog, Seminar Series

KernelCI started 10 years ago as a small project to test the kernel on Arm devices. The project grew over the years and today a new architecture is in place. In this video, Don Zickus, Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat  and Gustavo Padovan, Kernel Lead at Collabora will present you the new KernelCI. The KernelCI community put a lot of effort recently to design and implement its new testing architecture with a focus on facilitating the kernel community and industry engagement as much as possible.

Our new KernelCI Architecture (1) allows different services (such as patchwork, b4, etc), multiple CI services, and users to send request to test patches; (2) supports all sorts of testing platforms and hardware labs, not just embedded hardware; (3) focus on quality of test run, rather than quantity; (4) brings common database for all CI systems with automatic post-processing of regressions.

Speakers: Gustavo Padovan, Kernel Lead at Collabora and Don Zickus, Distinguished Engineer at Red Hat    

Don and Gustavol offer the ELISA community an overview of KernelCI and look for potential areas of collaboration between both projects. Watch the video:

The ELISA Seminar Series focuses on hot topics related to ELISA’s mission to define and maintain a common set of elements, processes and tools that can be incorporated into Linux-based, safety-critical systems amenable to safety certification. Speakers are members, contributors and thought leaders from the ELISA Project and surrounding communities. Each seminar comprises a 45-minute presentation and a 15-minute Q&A, and it’s free to attend. You can watch all videos on the ELISA Project Youtube Channel ELISA Seminar Series Playlist here.

If you missed this ELISA Seminar, Don and Gustavo will be presenting about KernelCI at the Linux Plumbers Conference in Vienna, Austria on September 18-20. Learn more about their session in the Linux Kernel Testing Microconference.
